Not much different than my 3 mile run any other day.  I pushed my daughter and ran after work.  I hated running at night the first time I did it, but I have gotten used to it and don't mind it so much any more.  I really need to get some more miles in and am off earlier the rest of this week so I can.  Yeah!!

Anyway, same run different day.  I am loving being able to though!!

Today was a good run.  I pushed my daughter and felt good the whole way.  I will most likely push her at the 10k this weekend. 

My friend, Brett, met me at the bridge and rode his bike while I ran and that was fun to have some company and someone to talk to. 

The last mile is a slow and steady up hill and pushing a 30 lb child isn't always easy, but the resistance and workout is awesome.

Glad to be running!!

Same thing as yesterday just without my friend riding his bike with me.  It was a bit warmer today but with some stronger wind gusts.  I just love those. 

I felt quite good again and am very thankful for that.

Love to be running!!!

It was quite windy this morning and a little chilly, but I felt good.  Didn't have to push the stroller today which was nice.  Although, I have noticed that with pushing the stroller I am getting stronger and faster (not alot, but enough for now). 

Happy to be running!!

I wanted to do this run in under an hour and did.  I am improving and that makes me quite happy.

I passed more people than passed me and that is always good.  It was a good run, a few hills, but the hills are great training!!  

Glad to be running.
